This is a template designed for season article pages for rugby league clubs. It has been designed to be usable by clubs in all countries, regardless of the year(s) the article is written about. It is therefore adaptable to however many leagues and cups said club participates in throughout the whole season. It is based on a template first developed by Jeff79 (Template:NRL Team Season), but has been adapted for greater flexibility, aesthetics, and inclusion in non-Australian articles.
